World Horror Convention and LDStorymakers

Gearing up for a couple of conventions - the World Horror Convention 2012 is going to be in Salt Lake City this year - attending, going to a writing workshop, and possibly pitching stories to Horror Library and Chizine - the conference is the last week in March, including April 1 - will be attending with my good friend Codigo!

Also, planning on hitting the LDStorymakers conference in May - submitted 5 first chapters for the contest... fingers crossed...

NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow

In addition to getting Issue 8 of Fear Knocks out, tomorrow NaNoWriMo begins - Good luck to everyone trying to write that 50,000 word novel for National Novel Writing Month!

Halloween Issue Out!

It was rough, I had no time, I had promises to keep, so it's out, and even before Halloween is officially awake! Check it out.

Journey to Portland

Just arrived home from Portland after the release and reading of Fast Forward Press's Volume 4 of Flash Fiction, the Incredible Shrinking Story.
Fun was had by all.
In addition, our last volume, The Mix Tape (Volume 3) has been nominated for a Colorado Book Award, in the literary fiction category, and it's made it into the final judging - fingers crossed.

That said, I may have time now to get back to work on Fear Knocks - have had a couple of submissions lately - one prose and one poetry - and hope to have something out soon.

Keep Reading, and Keep Writing!

Fear Knocks, Issue 7, on e-Newstands Now

Finally, after months and months of putting it off, or not even having time to put it off, Fear Knocks, Issue 7, is live and in the ether. This month marks the magic #7, and it also coincides with that wonderful holiday...

This Issue also marks the beginning of the end of the old spider, rat, and newt format. I've maintained some of the black, some of the Parseltongue font in red and black, but this is really a transition issue. In Issue 8, I plan to improve on the web format, incorporate .pdf and other file extensions into the delivery of text, and hopefully make Fear Knocks a little easier to read and access.

Also in this Issue, I've brought back all the Glüton Christmas episodes (so far), and also included a short-short, never before published Glüton story. I hope you like it.

Lastly, we have moved up from not having anything to pay our writers with to at least having a form of payment - Fear Knocks T-Shirts and Hats in the traditional black background, red lettering. Maybe the $$$ will start flowing next year.

Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year and...

Fear Knocks! Let it in!!

Fear Knocks Prose Example Coming

Friends:

I had something I was going to post as an example, but I ended up sending it to Weird Tales. That said, you can review the prose pieces at Fear Knocks, or I should have something on the blog by this weekend. Keep writing, and I look forward to submissions.
